I don't think being British has anything to do with it!

I understand your point of view, but don't feel that your average B&G would realise that this is what you are doing when you pose them in this way.

As a wedding photographer, your job is to make them look as good as possible while capturing the atmosphere and events of the day. If you can do this by arranging them in different ways - then that has got to be a good thing for them.

With regard to 90% of the body missing - take a look at a lot of modern / contempory portraiture and wedding images and you will frequently find that a large portion of their body (often up to half a face) is missing.
